“For many of them, they’re in otherwise monogamous relationships with women who support or even encourage that they do this,” adds David. It looks like this business is here to stay.
So why are so many gay men watching? “Are we being fed something,” asks David. He believes the genre’s popularity suggests an “internalised homophobia” in the gay community, where men who talk and act in a feminine manner are a turn-off.ĭavid also thinks it’s surprising because the gay community is always trying to fight the stereotype that homosexual men are chasing straight men or trying to “convert” them.
Porn star Eddie Stone, a genuine gay actor, says he was intrigued at the opportunity to have sex with straight men, but found it was much the same as doing a scene with another gay man. Unlike many of the heterosexual gay porn stars in the documentary, he doesn’t believe any 100 per cent straight man would have sex with another man on camera.
